Video Balun VS Coax VS Cat5

Recommended Posts

I am doing a home installation and have a couple of cable questions. I have a speco DVR 960h with 2 Ever focus EHD700 720 dome cameras (adding more later) so it comes down to cabling, do I run coax or cat 5? what will give me better video quality? I will also be using Video Balun with Power Connector is it possible that they will degrade video performance once the signal hits the balun and converts it through into coax feed does it impede video performance ?

I'm going to be performing an experiment on this...

 

I currently have high quality cat5e...I'm going to try same cams on rg59 (solid copper core) and BNC connectors. This will be a limited rest with no more than ~40ft of cable.

 

I've been told that the loss of quality is due to the baluns. As much if not more than the distance (assuming reasonable residential distances).

 

Ill post pic comparisons when I get this project going. I just got another camera to use for my little experiment.
